Oh well, I'm always a littel bit cautious when somebody says he "can do" a throw, because there's usually more than one way to do a throw (koshi uchi mata, ashi uchi mata) and a lot of differnt setups. And even if you can do a throw, it's still another story to actually use it in randori..
But I don't want to be asshole here.. It's nice that you found a new throw foryourself!
Some guys say that every Judoka is either more of the Uchi Mata type or the Seoi Nage type. I think you found out which one is you.
Nevertheless, my coach always says that Seoi Nage is a very important thow because it teaches a lot of basics. So of ycourse you should devellop the throws you like, but also keep on trying to get the hang with Seoi Nage.
Sometimes a throw seems totally awkward until one day you get a sudden enlightening and now the throw works like a charm..
Seoi Nage was one of the first throws I learned and hated it for about half a year. Then I decided to finally make it usable. At home I packed my trekking backpack and threw it over my shoulder for five minutes everyday. I also tried to observe myself the best I could: Where were my feet going? Was my upperbody twisting? Did my head lead the throw or not? And most important: did I have enough pull?
I'm still a Kyu, but for what it's worth, I think the most important part at the Seoi Nage is the pulling hand, if you mess it up the whole throw won't work..
Nowadays Seoi Nage is one of my all time favorites, because it has works from a lot of situations and there are just so many differnt ways to do it, with differnt grips, steps and distances. I could probably do it in 20 differnt ways and that's not even much.
So good luck, it's actually a very simple and beautiful throw, once you got the hang.
>>1065426
Recently did that with a heavyweight. The look on his face was priceless.
Same goes for me though, because I didn't really expect it to work that well. It's quite a thing to see a heavyweight do a full flip in mid air.
>>1066268
Agree with the sentiments in this, I'm glad that >>1065642
has found a throw they've found some success with in training, but it's definitely important to remember that practicing it and throwing it in randori or shiai are different. Start working on your entries and set-ups and make it a dangerous part of your arsenal.
Seoi-nage will come to you later, once you understand the basic bones of judo, you'll start to draw parallels between different attacks and see that the fundamentals apply across the board for a lot of different throws.
On a personal note, these last couple of weeks have been bad, anons. I injured my lower back in a completely unrelated manner, and I whereas I've been coaching, I haven't been able to do any serious randori, lifting or any cardio while I rest it. All I can do at the minute is walk to try and get it better.
>>1066334
Get well soon, anon!
I have two stories of friends who never got seriously injured in martial arts training but were out of action for weeks because of basketball..
>>1066345
Thanks anon!
I'm going stir crazy as Judo and training is pretty much my only enjoyment in life.
>>1066334
last night this one guy was trying to do ko soto gari or something on me, he ended up tripping himself like a dope but he held on to me so I got pulled off balance as he fell behind me, so I started to fall back. as he falls he bends his knee and plants his foot on the ground instead of spreading out, I fell back on top of him and took his knee to the middle of my back.
Immediately all the other matches stopped and everybody ran over because they saw it go down.
looked something like pic related
he dusts himself off "sorry, I should have let go"
yeah no shit asshole
>>1066541
Sounds nasty anon, there's a few coloured belts at my club that do something similar when they try tani otoshi but are basically just hanging off the gi.
My back problems are a reoccurring thing from years of not looking after it when I was younger, occasionally I hurt it again and have to rest.
>>1066599
Not that anon, but man, I like tani otoshi but I feel really nervous doing it. I've had some success with it, but last time I tried it in randori basically every black belt started going WHOA WHOA WHOA at once. White belt btw.

>>1065426
The longer I look at this the weirder it looks.
Can someone explain a beginner why blue is falling over? It's like he's stopping mid air after failing his Uchimata and then decides to jump forward on purpose without white doing anything. I looked at some other Uchimata Sukashi videos and after moving the leg out of the way there's always a counter movement. But here there's nothing, white doesn't seem to do anything and blue isn't using nearly enough force to lose control so much to cause him falling over. Is white just working with his arms that much?
What's going on in that gif?
>>1068101
White is doing something, he's moving his hip off the leg and driving with his arms, and with Blue having committed fully to his attack, it's enough for him to go full circle.
>>1066541
>I fell back on top of him and took his knee to the middle of my back.
Was he a big guy?

I'm interested in getting into Judo, what should I look for in a school? All of my local ones seem to cater primarily to families/children.
I'd like to train seriously, i-it's not like I want to grapple sweaty jailbait or anything.
>>1068866
>I'd like to train seriously
I don't know if you realize what you're asking for here. Judo means the gentle way
this is however a lie, likely meant to trick people into thinking its a fun way to get exercise and make friends
>>1068866
>i-it's not like I want to grapple sweaty jailbait or anything
>>1065798
MISSION STATS: FUCKING SICK
>>1068101
>blue isn't using nearly enough force to lose control so much to cause him falling over
He is - especially given what >>1068181 says, as this redirects his force so that the momentum generated by his own leg now moves his right hip to his left shoulder. Which, indicentially, is the exact same movement as a forward breakfall.
>>1071741
>what's this called when you flip like that and how can you train it?
It's called fucking gymnastics, nigga.
I just started judo less than a month ago and I pretty much suck, which seems to be normal.
What are some good ways to improve on my own, outside of the gym? Which fitness or conditioning programs would you recommend and is there a way to practice techniques on my own?
I don't have a specific goal, I just want to improve as quickly as possible. Currently I have 3 trainings a week but feel like that's not much.
>>1071947
Work on strength and conditioning off the mat, you want explosive strength and the endurance to use it, so find a training plan that works for you with that.
My advice would be to not work on technique outside of training right now, you're pretty new and you don't want to be drilling bad technique.
Why can't I find anywhere that teaches judo? It's only bjj places here

>>1065423
Isn't throwing someone on their neck called spiking and isn't it illegal in olympic judo? why weren't both these guys DQed and what's the point of that throw seems like its dangerous for both of them. I really hate how the Olympics have warped judo. If they did that in the streets both of them would be dead, Its so unrealistic
Same issue I got with olympic tkd
>>1073258
I don't think that would count as spiking someone because it was avoidable. the guy in white chose to not tuck his head. I don't think you can penalize someone because their opponent refused to fall properly
thoughts on this ogoshi variation?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7BJ3NhOj9E
>>1073475
>just dumps him instead of holding on and guiding his fall
she would be immediately thrown out of a tournament on the spot is how I feel about it
>>1073475
not exactly ogoshi but you can label it whatever generic koshi waza you want.
That variant of hip toss is pretty popular in the current meta game specially with the women's division and lighter men's weight division where that type of hip jocking is common for a scramble.
if i recall correctly its a sambo throw introduced by the Russian and Georgian team
Give me a bit to dig around but there's an offensive variant with an over the top shoulder grip that doesn't really need to rely on scrambling, its more of a first strike/grab and go variant. and is popular in the current meta game of judo
>>1073503
here's the throw i was mentioning
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTpP6KKoBNA
personally i prefer this angle of attack, ronda's technique is good but more situational but is a great go to to win a scramble. The throw i am showing is good for an opening attack or opening an offensive series
>>1073499
huh?
>>1073505
she doesn't guide him through the throw, she lifts him off the ground and chucks him, you aren't allowed to do that
>>1073508
'm sorry but i think you're mistaken.
, there's nothing in the current rule set that says anything like that, I'm trying to think what rule you're confusing. That demonstration throw would be counted as ippon,
would someone in the international circuit let her do something that sloppy? probably not but there's no rule against what she did.
>>1073519
Thinking about Ronda's technique, and going over the round off's (gymnastic reversals seen in;
>>1065467
>>1065469
>>1065798
It's not poor technique cause she would get DQd or whatever silly notion, but a good meta player will do a round off, without Ronda following gripping or following/falling uke. If you notice
at the 53-54 sec mark of
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7BJ3NhOj9E
when ronda has uke elevated if uke is versed in rounding off, since Ronda lets go and loses the grip there's a fleeting window of opportunity for them to twist their body or post on an elbow or neck to prevent ippon.
>>1073499
>getting dumped is too rough for you
When did judokas become such pussies?
>>1068762
>>1068917
Alright, I guess I'll give it a go anyway. If it's too kiddie-oriented, I guess I can always try BJJ. Wish me luck!
>>1073529
wtf is that guys ukemi
Will I get good (enough) at judo if I can train four times a week (with no strength, endurance or technique training off the mat), or would I need to train more? I don't plan to compete seriously.
>>1073475
>>1073503
>>1073505
The throw is Ushiro Goshi.
>>1073519
Not quite true, the throw has to have 3 qualifiers for ippon, power, control(!!), and a clean landing flat on their back, you can't pick someone up and drop them on their back like that.
On a personal note, injured back anon here, today was my first day back in the gym after 18 days of rest, did some swiss ball work and some leg work, then finished off with uchi komi. Glad to say that everything feels ok, so slowly and steadily I'll be getting back into it.
>>1073809
good enough to do what?
to do judo? of course.
>>1073809
Yes you would. You'd get even better if you put some strength and endurance training in there too.
>>1067464
Is this Yoko Gake?
>>1068101
> It's like he's stopping mid air after failing his Uchimata and then decides to jump forward on purpose
That's not totally wrong..
White gets his leg free, so blue has lost the leverage but can't stop the movement anymore.
Now white continues the momentum by pullinh blue's sleeve downwards and moving into him. Blue realizes that he has lost the control and will fall anyway, so he decides to jump into the throw. He's probably trying to make a flip, because if he manages to make a full flip and lan on his legs (or at least on his ass), because that way white wouldn't get an ippon and win. It's a sort of "emergency escape".
>>1068876
>Judo means the gentle way
>this is however a lie
Hahahaha.. this is the best thing I've read here for quite some time.
>>1071741
>what's this called when you flip like that and how can you train it?
It's basically just a cartwheel..
I wouldn't recommend it though, because if you mess it, up you will break your arm. It's not worth it, just accept the ippon and keep your arm. Thank me later.
>>1072040
You could learn a language on the way. This way you learn Judo AND spanish at the same time!
\o/
>>1073475
It's rather an Utsuri Goshi variation. The momentum goes backwards and then changes in mid-air, that's exactly the Utsuri Goshi principle.
>>1073809
No, unless you train 7 day a week for 14 hours it will be totally worthless.
>>1073888
Utsuri goshi.
Utsuri goshi is the switch throw, Ushiro goshi and "just dumping them backwards", kind of like ura nage with no sacrifice.
>>1073963
You're right anon, just looked it up and that's exactly it.
>>1068876
>Judo is the gentle way
This always bothers me. There's a lot more ways to translate ju besides gentle and a lot of them I feel are more accurate. Ju also means soft, pliancy, and maliability. Basically meaning to be able to change and adapt based on the force applied
>>1073967
There are serveral theories..
You could argue that JuJitsu is a very old art and maybe the original meaning of Ju was that it's indeed nice to "only" break someone's leg instead of slicing him with your sword.
Another thing I read is the translation of Ju as "the art of giving way" - in contrast to hard martial arts (i.e. karate) where you just block someone's "way". I think this is also an accurate description:
>You want to move to the left? OK, just let me block your feet so you fall on your face..
You're not gentle, but you let him have it "his way" - with minor changes.
How in shape do I have to be to start judo?
>>1074085
To start - not at all.
You will slowly be introduced to the fitness shit as you need it, but it never really gets "easy". You just fight better people, even pros run out of fitness.
>>1073505
Once you're lifted up in the air like that can you do anything or are you fucked?
>>1074135
>Yes, you can. Any judge will call ippon if uke lands like that in a competition.
No ref will score a totally uncontrolled throw.
>It was you who took that nasty knee to the back, by the way?
No, that was another anon, I hurt mine in a totally unrelated way.
Just got my yellow belt, so happy guise
>>1073249
so classic its never been done before or repeated
>>1075026
Congratulations anon
I should be doing my testing for orange belt in a week or two
>>1075083
Thanks and good luck to you. They don't test for colour belts in my place, just for the black belt you have a written and practical test.
>>1075101
our testing for colour belts are very simple, just need X hours in class then know the names and how to do the throws/pins/chokes needed.
>>1075083
but orange is for babies!
>>1078351
suplex?
I know its really irrational and I shouldn't give a fuck,but it took me 6 months for me to get promoted to the next belt but some guys in my dojo got promoted after being around for 3 months .
I don't know why I am bitter as fuck. good for them
>>1078594
Have you tried not being shit
>>1074139
If you think landing on your opponent is bad form in competition you are incorrect.
>>1074085
if you are overly fat or obese lose weight first or you will piss off everyone else at the dojo and no one wants to roll with you
>>1078919
No, landing on your opponent is preferable, dropping them off your hip with no control, just as Rousey did in the video, is bad form.
>>1074109
>Once you're lifted up in the air like that can you do anything or are you fucked?
The only thing you can try is change your weight distribution. If you get your center of weight away from the point where the Tori lifts you, the leverage gets longer and you "get heavier". Here you can see Mifune using it a few times - or maybe not, because it's a subtle thing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFXbuszijCM
But that's the thought behind "Utsuri Goshi": You try an Ushiro Goshi, but the other guy feels it coming and puts his weight to the front. Now you have lifted him, but can't generate enough momentum to the rear, so you just change the direction of the throw in mid air and throw him in front of you.
>>1078956
You're wrong.
Apart from the fact that Ronda is 4th Dan and olympic Judoka (don't you think she knows pretty well how to throw someone?), you can see the controls the controls the landing by grapping the lappel until the BJJ dude touches the floor.
It's not even a sloppy throw, it's very technically and absolutely controlled.
But I guess what looks like "the lack of control" to you is the fast turning of the body. Notice that the body does a complete 360 degrees turning from the hip to the floor, so naturally it's pretty fast.
>>1078594
Don't compare yourself to others. You have to walk your own way. But if you feel veyr sad, maybe jsut tell your Sensei about it? Sometimes it's not intentional, but people are messing it up. And if you Sensei tells you "they were good at this technique, but you sucked" then at least you know the point where you have to put effort in..
>>1075026
Congratiulations!
White belt is really a terrible colour, I was so glad when I got my yellow. The more you learn, the less important are belts.
>>1079027
>you can see the controls the controls the landing by grapping the lappel until the BJJ dude touches the floor.
She never grips the lapel, she has his belt and his sleeve, both of which she drops as the guy goes over her hip. Watch the video again.
>It's not even a sloppy throw, it's very technically and absolutely controlled.
It wasn't me who said it was sloppy, I said it was an uncontrolled landing, which it is, because she drops the guy over her hip, she doesn't follow him to the floor, or maintain a grip on the sleeve.
>But I guess what looks like "the lack of control" to you is the fast turning of the body.
She doesn't do any fast turning of the body in that video, the control is all over her hip, and the turn is relatively small.
>>1079027
Sorry, I meant she controls the sleeve, not the lappel.
Not my first language.. :)
>>1079032
Well that invalidates part of my last response.
And actually, I've seen that screenshot you posted and you can see she has the sleeve. I guess I'd have liked to see her maintain that grip longer, in competition, i still think a ref would have a hard time scoring it if they missed that sleeve grip.
>>1079031
>She never grips the lapel
See: >>1079032
>it was an uncontrolled landing
The guy lands in a 100% correct position on the side of his body. It's not Ronda's fault if he can't devellop enough body tension.
>or maintain a grip on the sleeve.
She keeps it up until the guy has landed and then let's go. Nothing wrong with that.
>and the turn is relatively small
I meant the turning of Uke.
Look at the position on the hip and on the floor, he spins pretty much 360 degrees on his long axis.
>>1079035
You are right that she lets go the very moment he touches the floor. So it might look "uncontrolled".
But let's not forget this is a demonstration. In a competition she would probably have followed though anyway, like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weBnt1jpXvA
>>1079040
Then I guess my point is that I don't like her demonstration technique, when I demonstrate a throw I always maintain my grip and show how to control the throw all the way to the floor, as that's how you'd use it in competition.
>>1079044
Fair enough.
I agree that she could have done the demonstartion thow in a nicer way. But then again this a BJJ group, so I guess she's a little bit of a rag here for the lulz.
>>1078594
Belt colours dont matter until you hit black
>>1079027
>Ronda is 4th Dan and olympic Judoka (don't you think she knows pretty well how to throw someone?)
I also think she takes every opportunity to look tuff >:( because she's the most insecure person I have ever seen
I have a problem with how hard she threw him, period, since she did so without warning after he was nice enough to entirely comply and let her hike him up on her hip like that
if you want to throw someone at full speed do it that way from the beginning, don't slowly go through the set up of the throw (the difficult part) and then slam the unsuspecting person with full force at the end
>>1079343
you're making an argument of nothing to be honest. From judo to BJJ to wrestling this happens time in time, does it make her a bad person no.
And you can tell the way their both laughing and having a good time no offense was made. God you're autistic
>>1079352
she would at the very least get a stiff warning at my club not to pull that shit again
what she did is equivalent to saying "let me show you the way I punch, lift your arms for me" and then I haul off and gut punch you at full power after you unwittingly exposed yourself expecting me to do it slowly
>>1079357
you run a club? ronda and her mom have some clout in the american judo community and are decently respected, they have been butting of heads but overall a lot of people want ronda to do her armbar clinics, and she spends time teaching children.
>>1079380
>you run a club?
it is a group effort composed mostly of past their prime judo players that still want to get matches in, and jiujitsu players that want to play for fun and not dude mma bro. it's only open for 3-5 hours a day because there aren't any formal classes, whomever happens to have the highest rank in the room at the time runs things.
The majority of judo players at the club fall between 1st-3rd dan, one guy is 4th dan
jiujitsu is less so, it's mostly white and blue belts, a few purple and brown belts which usually run the class. 3 black belts (should be 5 but we didn't have a black belt for a while so our browns couldn't get promoted in house), one is 3rd degree from machado.
There is however talks of putting official instructors on payroll and trying to turn it into a for profit business since the space is available with nobody using it for most of the day.
>>1065464
This was fake btw

I feel like we need a list of resources and a pastebin for FAQs in every OP for the judo threads.
A lot of "can I get good starting at 20?" posts recently, and there's a ton of YT resources to help with waza and grips, should hopefully make the discussions a little more focused on actual judo!

>yama arashi
How good is this legandary throw?
>>1081641
Great if you can set it up properly, it's big ippon judo. You really need to focus on the small details of the technique to make it work, you need to have good kizushi inherent in your judo, and you really need to think about how your footwork comes into play, you can't muddle through it and hope for the best. For me, after I have my kizushi and my grip, my right knee drops towards the ground (but doesn't touch), and my left leg shoots through so it's further back than my right leg, from there it's a big drive and twist.

My wife is big into cycling. And I'm a cheap ass. instead of getting those resistance bands i use the inner tubes of her old tires. They break after a 2-3 weeks, but they're easy to get ahold of, a lot of bike shops tend t toss them out. You can ask them to give them to you for free. Keep in mind i do about 100 uchi komis morning and evening so it wears the rubber quicker.
I've used the elastic bands at gyms before and the quality of the material is sturdier. So they're worth investing. Can't really say strength range. or weight range to look for with the name brand ones.

I should have been more precise:
Has anyone a gif/video of a decent Yama Arashi in Randori or even better: in a real Competition?
I always thought of Yama Arashi of a meme throw, or as some people like to say: Yama Arashi died with it's inventor.
So I'd really like to see one in action, especially since I don't quite get the details of it. To me it looks like a Tai Otoshi (or sometimes Harai Goshi) with a slightly different grip..
>>1083270
You're the Wrestling and Judo coach?
You should go namefag, I like what you are writing..
>>1083333
Competition Yama Arashi has some similarities to a double lapel seoi nage, I'm the anon training it and I'm not using a tai otoshi style leg, my right knee is dipping towards the floor as I load them on my back, and then my left leg is shooting further back for the drive.
Euan Burton used to use it a bit, he got a big ippon with it in 2010 Dusseldorf GP against a polish guy, so you might be able to find that online somewhere.
>>1083346
Thanks!
Is this the match you are talking about?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKQXiiIVp_c
To me this looks more like a Drop Seoi..
But I found this description of the original Yama Arashi:
"Tori moves his body up and down to pressure Uke backward. In response to Tori's controlling movement, Uke tries to push forward to regain his position. When Uke tries to come forward, Tori picks up Uke's body on his shoulder in full speed and sweeps Uke's right ankle like a Haraigoshi (a gust of wind). It can be considered a combination technique of Haraigoshi and Seoinage (the thumb of the hand grabbing the collar can be inside or outside of the collar)."
>http://kodokanjudoinstitute.org/en/waza/digest/15/
So this look a little bit like this:

But (if we want to be totally anal about technique) the lifting leg is missing, it should actually look like this, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHePzoviPaE
Sorry if I'm annoying, I'm just trying to get the concept..
>>1083356
OK, I also found this interesting comment:
"Uke is 'made tall' by tori, who then takes position himself and blocks uke's foot at the shin with his sole (which is different from Harai Goshi). While tori's hands guide uke down, tori's leg prevents uke from overstepping, he doesn't sweep upper tigh vs upper tigh though. (...) If somebody came up with this throw today, it probably would be declared either a Tai Otoshi variant or a Harai Goshi variant with and odd grip and more/less hip contact than usual."
>https://www.reddit.com/r/judo/comments/3bnwet/yama_arashi/
That's pretty much point of view I described here: >>1083333
>>1083356
You're not wrong that it looks more like a drop seoi nage, but the description you posted has a pretty great line about the throw being almost half way between the 2 throws.
I think one of the things to remember about a throw that is technically correct in terms of syllabus, and a competition throw are often different. Uchi mata is a good example with the use of the control arm, Judo Lab did a great breakdown here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZJcx2ppyB4
And another throw is reverse seoi nage. It's not in the BJA syllabus at all (unsure about other countries), but it's still a legitimate throw worth learning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ubS5Ktg4zk
>>1083366
>a throw that is technically correct in terms of syllabus, and a competition throw are often different
Absolutely!
That's why I wrote I don't want to be annoying. It's often a rather philosophical question wether a throw is this or that. If you get the Ippon - why giving a flying fuck?
But as I said, some people say that there is no real Yama Arashi anymore, that's it's more of a unique variant of an outstanding Judoka of the past.
For example some years ago ther was this guy from uzbekistan or georgia who had a veyr crazy Uchi Mata, where he lifted the other guy in the air on his knee before turning for the Uchi Mata. If I remember the name I will post it.
>reverse seoi nage
Haha, funny, we trained this throw last week among other variations..
What I found interesting is that the korean seoi nage is pretty damn close to Aikido's Shihonage, it's just a matter of gripping, but the direction/positioning is the same.
Oh well, sometimes I wish someone would find better categories for the Judo throws, it often seems very arbitrary where one throws ends and where the next one begins.
The biggest Judo secret is that there are actually only 4 distinct throws, the rest are minor changes..
(-;
>>1083384
I find it funny with most judo throw translations are just descriptions "sweeping hip", "body drop", "major outer reap" etc, but then Yama Arashi is "mountain storm".
>But as I said, some people say that there is no real Yama Arashi anymore, that's it's more of a unique variant of an outstanding Judoka of the past.
Absolutely, and I think the idea of the lines blurring between what throw is what is an interesting one, like the difference between koshi guruma and harai goshi, when drilled technically you can see the difference, but when used in randori, that leg always comes into play, at least for me anyway.
>For example some years ago ther was this guy from uzbekistan or georgia who had a veyr crazy Uchi Mata, where he lifted the other guy in the air on his knee before turning for the Uchi Mata.
You mean the Mongolian lift? It's starting to get some traction in international competition now, the bigger georgian guys are using it, as well as the kazak's, mongol's and uzbeki's. When my back is fully recovered i'm planning on drilling it myself.
>>1073249
Is that soto kaiten?
>>1083390
>You mean the Mongolian lift?
No, but now I found out..
It's the Uchi Mata of Zantaraya:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHnw4uhdP04
To me this throw is something completely different than an Uchi Mata. Now if this 130 was years ago and Zantayana would have been a big player and friend of Kano, maybe they would have called it "Spring Fountain" and made it a distinct throw..

Besides the reverse seoi nage and no leg kata gurama, its the 3rd "new" technique introduced to judo since the leg ban rule have been implemented. Its always neat to see how the elite of our art push and evolve the style by introducing new components . People crap on the rules, but honestly in my mind's eye implementing bans is good for the art in some ways, by forcing coaches and players to adapt new techniques and strategies and in turn it keeps the art from stagnating. I know its been discussed to nasium the negatives of the new rules, but people hardly ever talk about the positives and there are quite a few.
>>1083919
>>1083928
>>1083936
all these throws i am posting are throws people ignorantly thought were "Banned" because of the no leg grab rule, within the past few years people have developed new gripping arrangements and angles of attack to still use the moves without leg grabbing

How long before you guys manage to git gud and manage throws on the reg during randori?
I'm only a white belt/yellow tip whose been training for 4 months. I've managed a couple good sweeps, but I've only ever really cleanly thrown someone once. I'm usually one of the only white belts at training though and I understand that it takes time to git gud.
But how long did it take you guys?
Also I come from a purely striking background if anyone can offer brotips
>>1083919
>I've been calling it the mongol lift but that's the same throw.
Does the mongol lift officially count as Uchi Mata? I honestly don't know.
But I'd say there's a difference, the Zantaraya Uchi Mata starts as mongol lift (with the knee raising Uke) but then Tori turns his upper body away from Uke and ends it as Uchi Mata. Again, we could probably argue for hours about that one, no need to.. :-)
>in my mind's eye implementing bans is good for the art in some ways
Yes and know.
You effectively remove whole branches of strategies, because a "leg grab Te Guruma" can (and will) always be different from a "no hand Te Guruma". Just think about a counter against Uchi Mata, much more effective it is to grab the (outstreched) leg. Or does any Judoka still know how to use Kani Basami, the setups, the counters and so on? No.
On the other hand you are of course right. Just like Greco-Roman wrestlers are MUCH better in everything concerning the upper body than freestyle wrestlers, because if you have the option to just take his legs, what do you do? Exactly, go for the easiest target.
>>1083941
>all these throws i am posting are throws people ignorantly thought were "Banned" because of the no leg grab rule
But they would be much easier with leg grabbing allowed. I bet you could also drill a Seoi Nage with only one hand (in fact Koga has thrown Seio Nages with one hand injured). That doesn't mean it's a way of making Seoi Nage a better throw when you do in one handed.
>>1085694
>How long before you guys manage to git gud and manage throws on the reg during randori?
Depends on the group. And depends on how you do randori.
If you start among a group of competitive greenbelts, then it will take longer than if you start along with other white belts. If other guys always train with full resistance then it will take longer than if they let you throw them because they go only 30%. Just focus on 1 or 2 throws and get good with them. Than add others.
>>1073779
>tfw her body is hot but she has a bit of a manface
I...
>>1087367
It's OK to feel puzzled.
Just take your time for your coming out.
>>1085694
I've been training 4-5 years, and although I have cleanly thrown some people in competition/randori, I still end up with yuko/wazari throws all the time.
Ippon throws aren't going to always come for even the best players. All the gifs and webms in this thread are showing only a small percentage of wins. Olympic matches have come down to a basic throw scoring a yuko in golden score.
If you come from a striking background, I'm wondering if you're lighter on your feet and prefer side/foot forward stances. Work on stability and a strong stance, and use your foot work to move around your opponent and to also move your opponent around.
Don't feel like you need to get that throw in straight away. Although a quick technique can surprise some, often people will end up doing a poor technique and be easily countered. Pace yourself and be loose.
Work on not getting thrown. Feel how you're getting moved, and see if you can't stop a throw happening, or even try to counter it.
Ask for help. If a throw didn't work, ask why. Find out what your opponent felt when you tried it (maybe they felt you hit into them, changing their balance and making that seoinage not work). Find out other ways you could enter for an attack (along with pushing and pulling, sweeps and hooks are good for this too).
These tips are assuming a lot about your abilities, but come from seeing a number of issues judo beginners usually have.
>>1083955
How can the kata guruma be done without the leg? Should I attack it from a 2 on 1? I love the fireman's carry in wrestling and I'd like to carry it over to judo so any advice is much appreciated
>>1087725
search for "legal kata guruma" on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrNCH3wk56c
>>1087725
The legal variant of kata gurama now the no leg grab is more a kind to your duck under takedown. So as long as you can hit your duck the same motion applies
There are 2 tweeks now to your duck (the gripping and the sit out finish) where as in wrestling when you hit your duck under you don't care about guiding uke onto their back, you duck and they face plant. With the use of the gi now, you can use your kuzushi to lead them.
If you watch the highlight reel from >>1087892
you'll see a majority of players modify the two on one by having same side sleeve and lapel.
One neat variant is at the beginning of the highlight from 0:38 to 040
you see tori let go off the lapel grip, and instead of grabbing the leg he grabs uke's belt, the component of kata gurama are still there, using the sleeve hand to complete the wheel motion and rolling him off his soulders.
The last tweek though is as you do your duck under, you're sitting out with your lead leg, this provides extra off balance for uke as you trip them over the sit out leg.
>>1088291
so to drill the no leg kata gurama, practice your duck unders and practice your sit outs, after drilling them get your partner and practice the hand motion of setting up the 2 on 1. remember in the rule set once you have the 2 on 1 you have to grab and go, or be penalized
>>1088299

Anyone ever get high before going into the dojo?
Did it last week and never had so much fun in my life
>>1088353
I'm not particulary against sport and (soft) drugs, but I can't imagine a tough Judo training while being high. Maybe in NeWaza, but for TachiWaza?
>>1085726
Thanks man!
Yeah, the place I train is pretty big on competition and stuff so a bunch of the guys orange and higher compete regularly.
>>1087715
Thanks so much dude, appreciate it heaps.
When I train I try to focus more on getting my throws and garis right. There's a couple green belts I train with who I'm easily 10-15 kg heavier than but I make the conscious effort not to just use my strength and weight advantage and focus on clean technique.
It's just a little disheartening at times, being the one that usually ends up on the ground. Like I get that it's kinda ridiculous for a white belt to throw a black/brown/blue but I'm a perfectionist and it just bugs me. Just one of those things.
But I do love judo, and I really find that the community is super friendly and keen to help out beginners.
Seems dumb, disrespectful, and probably unsafe.
Would probable get thrown out for trying some bullshit like that.

Why the fuck did Lombard go for a fucking leg lock? Completely retarded
>>1089846
it was off a scramble
what's interesting is the leglocks Lombard does are more sambo based, using scrambles and throws to launch the offensive set, whereas a lot of BJJ based leg lock offense is from various guards such as inverted guard, spider, 50/50
Lombard rushes the pace of the scramble and that let to a HUGE botch and positional lost
>>1089846
i'll say this, a lot of people look at sambo foundling without understanding some of the inherent weakness the style has and its not a knock on sambo which is a great style, but just a matter of fact. sambo has a leglock game not found in judo or bjj however compared to the guard pass and slower pass leg lock game of BJJ, sambo's leglocks have a higher chance of failure based off the set ups of scrambling and aren't as "metalicious"
done right they're great and beautiful to watch, botched and you're in a real rough spot, as seen with hector
https://youtu.be/K_c3Py7lXqM
>>1089916
>crab legs
>ever
I mean I'd you want to destroy your opponents acl's or something
>>1090073
i think the point of leg locks is to destroy part of your opponent's leg
>>1089846
>>1089886
Based off Sambo? I don't think that is an accurate statement. Partially based off Sambo? Sure. Hector used to train with Erik Paulson (who happens to have the license plate: "leglokr"). Erik's leg locks are based off of sambo and catch wrestling.
The Imanari roll is not a BJJ maneuver. It comes from the same lineage as Paulson's leg locks. Should be pretty obvious since Imanari is Japanese.
The other thing people don't really understand is what kind of Sambo? For example look here:
>>1089916
Depending on how the flying leg scissor is executed, it can be really high percentage or more of a shot in the dark. If it was off a single leg defense, the odds of landing it are much higher than just jumping in for it.
Also you must note that the .gif here is International Sport Sambo. See how she goes right into the kneebar? The best finish from that attack is going into an inverted heel hook, preferably entering into the saddle position(aka honeyhole aka 411). However, this technique is not legal in Sport Sambo. You always have the option to then go to the kneebar.
A lot of the Sambo goes who train for American Sambo, nogi, or for MMA have much better leglocking systems due to a different ruleset.
The leglock that Lombard went for was in fact a good entry to a potentially high percentage leg lock position. I think he was too tired to work the next transition off the defense you see there.
I would like to emphasize that typically entries into kneebars are far more risky than entries into heel hooks. Again, you cannot heel hook in International Sport Sambo.
>>1090106
Just remembered the term I was trying to think of. American Sambo=Freestyle Sambo
>>1090106
I appreciate some of the correction however i want to say something about Lombard and Cuba's judo community.
Before Lombard even trained with Paulson he learned his leglock game from Cuba's Judo community and Cuba has had strong ties with Russia having their teams cross train with the other, which is how Cuba's Olympic squad has strong newza and a huge influence of leg locks from cross training with Russia's judo and sambo team. Lombard is atypical for an international judo player having leg locks, but for Cuba's team very typical. I hate name dropping but one of the few Olympians i've had the pleasure of training with more then a few times was Cuba's Israel Hernandez, he's a uchi mata/ seoi man but was showing off some neat sambo based leg locks
>>1090141
I want to add its probably a battle of semantics because you're correct and there's huge influences for Lomard's leglock game, from his BJJ black belt to his judo credentials/sambo, and catch wrestling.
I remember when he first blew up on the MMA scene people were talking about his leglock game since he was winning his beginning matches with that only, later on he was KOing people.
>>1090141
>>1090147
That's interesting. I did not know that. I just know Erik so that's why I know what I do about it.
Semantics aside, I do think it is important though because the rule set really influences how you work your leglocks, and thus your leg lock game. Obviously with pretty much any style of Sambo they also don't have as much time for ground work so they really dive after stuff.
In my opinion, the guy that really has the best information out there on leglocks right now is Reilly Bodycomb who is an American Sambo guy who competes in nogi. He might not be the absolute best leglockers around as you could see with his loss to Eddie Cummings, but he really has the best details on teaching leglocks. He is very good at explaining a lot of the small details, transitions, and recoveries. He also really understands the nogi/BJJ angle.
There are some stuff he lacks, like I've gotten some super solid kneebar details and some other unique entries from Keenan Cornelius, I've picked up some great stuff from watching Eddie Cummins and Garry Tonnon, and I've learned a lot of top oriented catch style leglocks from Erik Paulson/my coach (they had the same coach).
>>1090293
I forgot which of the BJJ leglock guys was it, but i want to say its Garry Tonon has some great wrestling and its nice to see a BJJ player use wrestling more then just takedown but for its mat work, mat control and ground scrambles.

Definitely Gary. He's a great all around grappler, that's why I like him so much.
I'm not sure why on earth he agreed to grapple Palhares though. Either way, it will be fun to watch. Really looking forward to the whole event.
>>1096133
I think there is some drama there right? Didnt Garry Tonnon imply or say something that Paul Harris's leglock guys is simple or simplistic and over compensates by hurting people and he wanted to expose that?
![2007_gymtour[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/NZ3gYFM.jpg "2007_gymtour[2].jpg")
>>1096138
He said that. I don't think it was drama, but was an accurate statement. Eddie said that when they were coming up with their game, they initially based a lot of it of Palhares.
I would said it is accurate though. Palhares has a few set ups that he is super duper good at. Gary and Eddie have a much more diverse leg lock game.
It's not a criticism really. Palhares gets the job down and is really good at it. Nobody likes him for holding submissions though.
Initially, I thought Eddie was supposed to be the one facing Palhares, but I guess it is Gary. Either way it will be exciting.
Fuck, that entire card is amazing. Completely blows out Metamoris' upcoming card.

One of the brown belts always smells like pot and talks about how he needs to learn to relax more for judo.
SO i had acl/meniscus surgery at the end of october and its been about 4 months. I recently got back into judo but when should i go back to doing randori and taking throws? For now i have just been doing uchikomis and some light ne waza.
I started training at a judo dojo to work more grappling, both stand up and ne waza into my fighting and round it out cause I also box and do karate. My main question is how would you work a lapel grip into a no gi situation? Just an underhook?
>>1101912
Lapel grip has a weird equivalent to either being a neck tie. If you have high lapel or. Over hook underhook for mid lapel grips
>>1101558
2 weeks than light randori
I've been thinking about how judo is fought at the top level during today.
A few years ago we used to see a lot of international level judoka throwing to win by any means, the goal wasn't ippon but rather to just get any point to win. Whether this was by pressuring your opponent into multiple shido's or by a yuko here and there, doesn't really matter, it was more about playing the "game" rather than striving for the kill.
But it seems to me that in recent months we've been seeing a shift in philosophy from a lot of the really top end of judoka. It's pretty well known that Japan have always strived for big ippon judo, and it's cost them some results before now, but with the likes of Georgia and Mongolia especially bringing in these big new lifts, or even just perfecting older techniques like Ura-nage and Uchi-mata sukashi, we're starting to see a shift towards more big ippon judo.
For me then, this is nearing the perfect time to re-introduce new leg grabs rules. Personally I'd like them to be an overall part of the game with no need for counter or secondary attack rules, but I would be equally happy to see them brought back as an aid for a throw that has already started being executed, look at how Koga used his trailing arm through his one armed seoi nage and sasae tsurikomi goshi, that doesn't affect how posture is used in a Judo match, and it allows for a bigger spectator spectacle (which is what the rules were made for anyway).
I agree with the earlier anon who said about rule changes bringing about ingenuity from the more creative players, I love seeing things I've never seen before in the sport, but it doesn't mean we have to erase parts of our sport to achieve them.

It's literally the home of Judo in the UK. Gunjo Koizumi who brought judo over to the UK in 1918 founded it.
It teaches other things there now, but that's mainly to keep afloat in modern day London.
Im watching a class later and i have some concerns. How long do i stay? Will i just be watching? Anything to look for in case of McDojo?
Its a school for competition and they participate in northeast tourneys. They even have guest workshops from that big judo school in japan. So im not that concerned about it being mcdojo i just hope its something i can get into as a beginner.
>>1108792
This dank McDojo meme..
The chances to find a Judo "McDojo" are almost nonexistant. Judo has a fixed curriculum and continous sparring.
Just jump into it and find out for yourself.
>>1108956
yeah i figured
think 2 days of class is good btw? like 2 hours each. night shift sucks.
>>1108968
Two days a week are the bare minimum, three would be better..
But for the beginning it's ok. When you start something new you need more time to recover (physically) and more time to process all the new movements (mentally). After some time you might want more days to intensify your training.
So how do I counter stiff arm-ers and gripfight myself out of a disadvantageous position?
I'd often find myself caught at the end of another dudes arms and getting stuffed when I try to push in for a throw. Most of the time this ends with me getting swept or hit with an Uchi Mata or some other kind of hip/leg throw.

does being sore from a class of judo ever go away?

Soreness is a sign your shit's fucked up. When your body tells you it's fucked up, you fucking rest.
If you don't rest, you end up like Wu-style Tai Chi Chaun.

There are weight classes. If you are very light you will fight light people in competitions.
And yes, small/light people can apply Judo very well. You need to be quicker and have better technique (which is just the result of training more), but smaller people can kick bigger people's asses.

How long do you train?
The first days/weeks after a longer period of resting, being sore is normal. Its a sign that you'Re building up muscles. After than you shouldn't feel bad the day after a training. Of course sometimes you hurt yourself a little bit or overdid it, but usually you should feel good.

Well the guy you quoted was me, and I said that we had seen some innovation, but that we should still push forward without blocking out huge pieces of our past. I don't want to see bent over judo all the time as people stop trying to have their legs grabbed, but being DQ'd from a fight for touching someone's leg midway through a sasae tsurikomi goshi is pretty shit.

I wish my judo club had better member retention.

Its so much fun and i wish i had more people to spar with.

Judo is getting eclipsed by BJJ each and every day. BJJ is easier on the body than Judo.
I'm really enjoying my judo at the moment, started a few months ago and very eager to improve. However, I'm finding it hard to progress I feel because of my strength/stamina.
We usually do Randori at the end of a session and we get to go against the teachers (2nd dans) who let you try and do what you want until you stop attacking.
I know I shouldn't be doing greatly against them but I find myself unable to get close and I'm not sure if it's purely due to weight difference.
They are around 90-100kg and I'm 70, what makes it worse is I find myself gassing out rather quick which is frustrating.
Can anybody recommend some exercises for beginners to build up the required stamina/strength? I train once per week so kinda need to fill in the time between sessions.

Any HIIT is good for endurance for judo. Hill sprints, running stairs, rowing machine, etc. But even more important is remembering to stay loose. Being stiff takes more energy and makes you gas way faster. The stiffer you are and the more muscle you use instead of technique, the more energy you expend.
The former is stuff you can do on your own, the latter is basically a function of mat time. Just focus on staying loose during uchikomi and randori.
Anyone ever do a no-gi Tomoe Nage?
